Sports Physio UK/Market Street Community Defib has been stolen.

A 999 CALL WAS MADE ON MONDAY EVENING 29TH JANUARY 2018 FOR A SUSPECTED CARDIAC ISSUE, A MEMEBER OF THE PUBLIC WAS ISSUED THE LOCATION AND CODE, TO ONLY FIND THE CABINET EMPTY!!!

This is a defib that Sports Physio UK have spent years on fundraising to purchase and provided to the Community to save lives!

We raised these funds to purchase the defib in memory of Ashley Livesey, (one of our Directors Brother) who passed away at the young age of 15 whilst representing his school, Royton and Crompton, at a cross country race.

Access to this defib should be via 999 and the Ambulance Service providing the code, but it seems someone has helped themselves to this and this impacts the community in a huge way.

Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a victim's survival rate by 7 to 10%(https://firstaidforlife.org.uk/why-defibrillators-save-lives/)

Without immediate treatment, 90-95 per cent of cardiac arrests prove fatal! (https://firstaidforlife.org.uk/why-defibrillators-save-lives/)

We need to help and will continue our fund raising, but please do what you can and help the Community of Shaw and help raise the funds for this crutial peice of kit!
